Friendships shape a life Make it worth livingMemories from the giftMemories in the giving

Connecting you to two lives A defining link to your past A certain part of your futureFriends first, and friends lastRemaining close in spiritWith no matter how far
It’s not just what you do
A friend is who you are

Inside jokes with just a glance
Self-effacing, imitation to the letter
Funnier from the shared experience The more absurd, the more the better
Acting your age always optionalSpeak your mind, or from your gut
Colourful language, to be expectedOpinions matter, no matter what

Trusting that it stays here
The bond as strong as the word
The vault is always left open
But once it’s said, it is once heard
Criticizing when only required
Subtle reminders of any pretense
Calmly putting you in your place
And you knowing that it makes sense

Staying right beside you Throughout the unplanned Still managing to realizeWhen they don’t understand
Strength in that numberThe enduring power of twoDoing whatever it takesAnd knowing what to do

Friendships shape a lifeMake it worth livingMemories from the gift
Memories in the giving

Connecting you to two lives
A defining link to your past
A certain part of your futureFriends first, and friends lastRemaining close in spirit With no matter how far It’s not just what you do A friend is who you are
